Animaniacs #53

Animaniacs #53 brings the WB Kids' favorite lab mice front and center for this October 1999 issue, with Pinky gleefully squishing The Brain's oversized cranium while exclaiming "Ooh, Brain, your head is sooooo bumpy! Squishy squishy! Narf!" — as a thoroughly unamused Brain warns, "Prepare for pain, Pinky." Walter Carzon and Horacio Ottolini's cover perfectly captures the duo's endless comic chemistry, with Pinky's wide-eyed delight playing beautifully against Brain's restrained fury. Inside, writer Frank Strom takes the pair on an adventure titled "Future Shock" — a promising premise for two mice whose ambitions are never anything less than world-sized.
